Megan’s Internship Experience

/in /by

As my time with Ecolink comes to an end, it has been eye-opening to reflect on my summer with this internship. Being an environmental science major with a background in chemistry, it was an easy decision to accept a position with a company that showcases such sustainability through its voice and its actions.

Though I had little knowledge going in about writing blogs or SEO copywriting, I was provided with guidance and reassurance, allowing me to attain a new skill. I asked a lot of questions – it’s the best way I know how to learn – and Hannah was very helpful and patient.

Megan’s Main Takeaways

I’ve learned what it means to want to work for a company that takes care of its employees, its customers, and the planet, a standard which I will carry with me as I graduate and start the search for full-time employment. Overall, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity that has been provided to me, and I hope that other students are able to work with such an amazing team.

Working as an Intern for Ecolink 

Working as an intern for Ecolink was a wonderful experience in more ways than one.  The position is mainly remote, which allowed me to choose what time and how many hours I wanted to work each day. This flexibility let me experience a good work-life balance and helped make the position more enjoyable.

As an Ecolink intern, I have become acquainted with multiple talented co-workers.  My superior and mentor, Hannah, was incredible to work with.  She is knowledgeable, helpful, communicative, understanding, and a phenomenal person in general.   I felt comfortable asking her questions when I needed assistance and had an abundance of fun spending time with her and my other co-workers during team meetings and team bonding events.

Katelynn’s Internship Experience

/in /by

Since my summer internship with Ecolink has come to a close, I would like to take a moment to reflect on all the new things I learned and experienced this summer. As a Chemical Engineering major going into her senior year, I knew that I needed to have a variety of skills under my belt before I entered the workforce. When I saw that Ecolink was a technical writing internship and I knew that my technical writing skills were subpar, I jumped on the opportunity to become one of the company’s interns. Now that I have completed my internship, I can confidently say that it did in fact help improve my technical writing skills.  

How did the internship improve Katelynn’s skill set?    

There were multiple things that I learned this summer that helped improve my technical writing skills. I learned new ways of writing and a variety of new information such as: 

  • Search Engine Optimization writing styles 
  • Call To Action paragraphs 
  • Different forms of marketing writing such as business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) 
  • Writing with keywords 
  • Newer chemical process 
  • Uses for chemicals I was unfamiliar with 

Having Hannah as my supervisor this summer made learning and adapting to Ecolink’s work style and expectations much easier. Hannah provided us with more than enough material to help the interns excel in their positions. She was super flexible and made the experience of working with Ecolink almost completely stress-free. Hannah was willing to help us in any way she could, and she was always available to answer any questions we might have had. I do not think I could have excelled as much as I did without her as my supervisor. 

Katelynn’s Final Thoughts 

My digital marketing internship at Ecolink was such a new and exciting experience for me. I would have never guessed that I would enjoy writing about chemicals and chemical processing as much as I did. I may be looking for jobs in the Chemical Engineering field, but the skills that I have improved from Ecolink’s internship will most definitely come in handy wherever I end up. I cannot thank the team at Ecolink especially Hannah, enough for providing me with this opportunity. This internship has provided me with new experiences that I would have likely never gotten anywhere else. To anyone who is interested in chemistry and writing, this is the internship for you!

Mithuna’s Internship Experience

This completes my journey at Ecolink as an intern. It has been a journey of growth and learning, which I assume is the case for every one that went through it with me.

Coming into this internship, I knew how to write scientific papers that earns me an A in my college classes. I also knew how to write a fictional story, which is captivating. At least, that is what my friends say. I never thought about writing captivating, but also scientifically informing pieces, until Ecolink.

For the first time ever, I was able to combine the two types of writing I love to bring interesting and informational works for you. Unlike research done for lab reports, the research necessary for this internship was different in that there weren’t scholarly articles everywhere for the niche topics I was covering. However, due to my degree in biochemistry, I was knowledgeable in most of the scientific aspects of the topics, which helped me a lot. For the aspects I wasn’t sure about, I spent a large amount of time researching.

Starting out, I was a newbie when it came to working with SEO optimization. Most of what I learned was from Ecolink. I’m beyond glad to say that I’m finishing my internship well-versed in SEO optimization. However, that does not mean I’m done learning. There is still a lot more to learn, which is the case with everything we know, and I’m looking forward to continuing learning.

People at Ecolink were extremely understanding, friendly, and willing to teach, which is something I’m grateful for. Working under Hannah was very gratifying because having a supervisor/boss like Hannah is a blessing. She was available at the odd times I would be working, ready to assist me without complaints. She was very understanding towards unexpected situations that arose. Best of all, she was very happy to teach me when I was confused or stuck. She created a very welcoming environment for you to learn, even if that’s by making mistakes.

Though I’m sad about this chapter of my life ending, I will always have the experience and knowledge I gained from this opportunity.  I had a lot of fun learning, researching, and writing during my time at Ecolink.

When I first learned about the Ecolink internship, it caught my interest to say the least. I’ve always been passionate about the environment, so working with a company that emphasizes environmental issues and sustainability like Ecolink is a big priority for me. Plus, being able to work remotely and on my own schedule was great as a busy senior in college. All in all, I knew I had to apply right away.

What I’ve Learned

In addition to being perfect for my interests and schedule, the Ecolink internship has also taught me quite a bit and helped me grow as a professional. This Spring, I’ve gotten to learn about:

  • Search engine optimization
  • Writing blogs on technical topics
  • Hot topics in the chemical industry
  • Extraction and cleaning methods
  • Keyword research and using Google Analytics

Entering this internship, I was mostly looking to supplement my schoolwork with something that could give me some insight into the chemical industry and help prepare me to really enter the professional world as an engineer. Exiting this internship, I can definitely say I got what I came for and much more.

Working At Ecolink

Being an intern at Ecolink was an absolute joy. Hannah is a wonderful supervisor that is easy to communicate with, unbelievably helpful and understanding, and just an overall amazing person to work with. I never felt bad about having questions or needing help with something, which makes working so much more pleasant.

In addition to the amazing peers, I also only have good things to say about the work itself. Getting to educate myself on important topics in the industry and then actively work towards presenting that information in a new, more digestible way feels like meaningful work that you can be proud of.

All in all, I can’t recommend interning with Ecolink enough. Amazing work with amazing people, and you can do it in a way that fits perfectly into your schedule. I simply couldn’t ask for more!
